Reliquary of Souls
With the state of the world today, it’s nice to get a good laugh now and again.
This stupid head gave me a good laugh.
Nethrandamus
I was also thinking of a comparison to Dragonqueen Alex. You loose any battlecries, but the Dragonqueen was sometimes just about raw stats on the board anyways
Glowfly Swarm
Works really well with a lot of spells that will stay standard after the rotation: Crystalsong Portal, Power of the Wild, Blessing of the Ancients and Secure the Deck (specifically the 3 Claws).
Even goes well with minions like Keeper Stalladris, Garden Gnome, and Anubisath Defender.
Not all of these cards have seen competitive play, but this could be something useful for token Druid
Nethrandamus
Good question. Looking at some of the other upgrade cards, like the spellstones of K&C, they only upgrade while they’re in your hand.
On the other hand(pun), Corridor Creeper specifically states that it gets cheaper “whenever a minion dies while this is in your hand.”
I would guess that Nethrandamus only upgrades in your hand, but clearly hearthstone is sometimes inconsistent so who knows!
Keli'dan the Breaker
The big problem is inconsistency. You might get it in your opening hand, or draw it before 6 mana, making it nearly impossible to be a board wipe.
I agree with you that the single target ability is powerful. I think it may be more viable than some people think, but it’s hard to tell as we don’t know how good control warlock will be
Supreme Abyssal
Finally, the finisher silence priest needs! …
No, that’s wrong and dumb
Scrapyard Colossus
Pretty insane pick from conjurer’s calling, but otherwise probably won’t see much constructed play
Apexis Blast
Firelands Portal saw play, and it was 7 mana.
Apexis Blast does come with a pretty strict requirement, but Hunter made it work a few years ago.
We’ll see if Mage gets more support for this kind of deck
Maiev Shadowsong
That’s a good question, and one I hadn’t considered myself.
My gut reaction says that the minions are “reset” when they’re made dormant. This would be similar to ressurecting a minion like carnivorous cube.
Of course, I don’t KNOW, if this is the interaction, but it seems logical that any enchantments are removed when the minions goes dormant
Maiev Shadowsong
I’d say that since this using the same Dormant keyword as the other minions that the awaken effects would happen.
I guess we won’t know for sure unless someone makes a video or release day
Blackjack Stunner
I wouldn’t be surprised if a secret card Rogue got was something like “Add a secret from another class to your hand.” That way, the secrets you play wont be so obvious (since I’m sure Rogue will only get 2 or 3 more this set).
It would also fit with the enhanced burgle mechanic Rogue got last year
Duplicate Protection Across All Rarities (Including Disenchanted Cards) + Free Deck For New/Returning Players
That’s like 14 bombs!
Imprisoned Antaen
Do these cards start dormant even if they’re resurrected/summoned from deck/not played from hand?
Like if you use that new Demon Hunter minion to summon this guy from your deck, will it come out dormant or as a 10/6 with no ability?
Duplicate Protection Across All Rarities (Including Disenchanted Cards) + Free Deck For New/Returning Players
2 years ago I pre-purchased the cheaper option for the Witchwood (so 50 packs I think?) and I opened 17 Blazing Invocations!
I’m very excited about this change
